EUROPE FULL OF FEARS.
RUSSIA STILL DISOLAIMS ANY
HOSTILE INTENTIONS.

The Orders for the Recent Movements
of Troops Said to Have Been Given
Over a Year Ago-Austria Waiting
and Watching - Russia in Need of
Money.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 9.-It is semi-ofli-
cially announced that the reports in Aus
trian and German papers regarding the
movements of Russian troops are inexact
Since the Cars return from Copenhagen
no order has been given for the REINFORCE
ment of the troops on the Galician frontier.
The recent movements of troops were made
in compliance with orders issued over a
year ago, including the transfer of the
Osenburg division of cavalry, which was
recently effected.
FRANCE AND RUSSIA.
PARIS, Dec. 9--Mme Adam has written
letter to the French press, in which she
suggests that the sphinxes now in the Tuil-
leries be returned TO the navy club of Sebas-
topol, and that the cross and steeple be re-
stored to the old church of st. Vladimer.
La RepubIique FrdncdiSe and La Gdu-
lois applaud the proposal. The latter
paper says: Every testimony of sympa-
thy and esteem for Russia must obtain our
support"
RUSSIA WANTS A LOAN.
LONDON, Dec. 9-The st. Petersburg cor
respondent of the Daily NeOS asserts that
Russia wants a loan, and will be compelled
to accept the stringent terms of French
bankers, whose demands have hitherto pre-
vented an arrangement being made. The
Berlin market, he says, is closed to Russia.
THE FORGED LETTERS.
%
says that Russia's hesitation iustifes the
supposition that the publication of the
forged letters sent to the Car concerning
the relations between Germany and Russia
would lead to the Identification and com
promise of important personages. ave
must assume" says the paper, that
personages sheltered by sex or position Co
operated to place the forgeries in the Cars
hands. Such instruments could be found in
French ladies married into noble Russian
families. Besides these there are Russian
officials and ex-diplomats, and Jesuit and
Polish elements who have actively worked
TO produce a breach between Russia and
Germany"
AUSTRIA ANXIOUS.
VIENNA, Dec "a semi-official denial is
given to the statement that the German
government has recommended that Austria
adopt precautionary military measures.
The meeting of the Military Council was
entirely due to a spontaneous resolution of
the Austrian authorities. Russian move
ments, especially the pushing forward OF
troops by echelons toward the Austrian
frontier, continue to excite anxiety in mill
tary circles here. The decision Of the Coun-
Gil yesterday to abstain from further mill
tary measures was taken because the
Austrian frontier forces are already equal
to those of Russia.
1t is reported that at the Military Coun-
Gil held to-day, Archduke Albrecht and
Count Kalnoky favored waiting policy on
the part OF Austria, but that Gen. Won
Beck, chief of staff, and other officials ad-
vised immediate activity. The Emperor
decided in favor of moderation. Count
Kanolly declined to send note to Russia,
because he thought this would likely pre-
cipitate matters.
CORPS ORDERED MADE READY.
CRACow, Dec 9.-Orders have been is
sued to place the Fifth, Seventh, Eighth
and Eleventh Russian army corps. Officers
on Tuesday received command of these
corps, all of whom were present at the mill
tary conference.
